1.6.0 release status: the vote had passed last week, binaries for Mac and Windows are ready for testing. The release will be very soon, stay tuned!

BigCouch merge: significant process has been made; testing is highly important now. We want to encourage everyone to help with testing COUCHDB-1843 branch, especially :5984 API iface. Info: to run the bigcouch from merge branch: clone couchdb.git, checkout 1843-feature-bigcouch, ./configure && make && dev/run. Please report any errors you find during testing on dev@ Mailing list or on IRC #couchdb-dev.

Bylaws, Code of Conduct and Diversity Statement: all PMC members are asked for reviewing and commenting the Bylaws and the Code of Conduct and Diversity Statement. A thread about approval models and vetoes will be started on the mailing list.
